A motion requesting the upgrade and improvement of the popular walk at Derrycarne Woods, Annaduff was strangely opposed this week at Carrick-on-Shannon Municipal Meeting.
Fianna Fáil Cllr Sean McGowan put forward a motion asking “the Director of Services, Infrastructure, to have discussions with Coillte requesting them to upgrade the very popular amenity area at the beautiful Derrycarne woods.”
He also requested if the council could discuss what are Coillte’s plans are for the forest in the townland of Cornagillagh halfway between the villages of Dromod and Rooskey.
Cllr McGowan said Derrycarne was a “beautiful area” with views of the Shannon and he asked that the walk be upgraded with more picnic benches, better signage, additional car parking and some basic maintenance. He said the project would not necessitate huge money.
